A brief description of on-site renewable electricity generating devices :
Northern Arizona University has installed a 163 Kwh photovoltaic farm which is the first of a series of renewable energy installations on the campus to include wind and biomass. In addition, Northern Arizona University is working as an investor and consultant with both private and public entities developing large scale renewable energy projects.
The photovoltaic system described above and donated by APS provides up to 20 percent of the electricity for the LEED Platinum ARD building. This system is maintained and operated by APS so we do not measure the output. Also at ARD, a back-up heating system uses roof - mounted solar thermal panels. Light-harvesting technology adjusts office lighting by reading the brightness of the room. Automated shade controls regulate solar gain to keep building temperatures within a comfortable range.
